How do I subscribe? Which tariff suits me best? Can I change my tariff?...

If you can easily manage your mobility needs in the normal course of the day on foot, by bike or with public transport, then CarSharing will be the perfect add-on for you.

In most cases, CarSharing is less expensive than a private car if you drive less than 850 km per month (10,000 per year).

However, some of our customers drive a lot more than this. Although their costs are probably higher, they enjoy the choice of different types of cars and the fact that they don't need to worry about the MOT, new tyres, going to the carwash or finding a parking space.

If you opt for CarSharing you'll have more flexibility and you'll pay much less than for a private car (e.g. loss of value, stuck with the one model).

Which tariff would suit me best?

It depends upon your driving profile ...

You can choose between tariffs with higher or lower fixed costs. What is best for you depends upon how often you will need a car and how long the trips will be.

Corporate customers should contact the local cambio office to get custom tailored tariff consultancy.For private customers, the following benchmarks might be helpful for the choice between the Campus, Start, Aktiv and Comfort tariff.

The Basis-Tariff: no monthly fee.

The Campus-Tariff: for students and persons under the age of 30.

The Start-Tariff: for those who drive less than 60 km on a monthly average (up to 700 km approx. per year)

The Aktiv-Tariff: the right solution for customers driving between 60 and 250 km per month (700-3,000 km approx. per year)

The Comfort-Tariff: if your monthly mileage is higher than 250 km (more than 3,000 km per year).

Try out our "Fare Calculator" to get an idea of what would be the costs for one exemplary trip. The prices will be displayed for all available tariffs. Due to the price structure of each tariff the fares will differ according to the selected vehicle class and according to the share of the (cheaper) long distance mileage.

Can I change my tariff?

Of course! At the end of each month ...

Your driving profile has changed?

No problem. You can change your tariff by the end of each month. We will charge 15 euros for each tariff change.

However: the first change after joining and one change per year will be free of charge. This gives you time to check out whether the tariff you've chosen is the right one - also in practice.

You can apply for a tariff change within the customer area of this website or by getting in touch with your local cambio office.

Can I drive as much as I want to?

Yes - as long as you stay within your credit limit ...

Only you will decide how much you would like to drive - reagardless of your choice of tariff.

However: cambio will invoice the trips you've made at the end of each month. So actually, you are driving "on credit". This is why, after joining, cambio grants you a credit limit of 500 euros for trips which have already been booked plus the trips which have not yet been invoiced. This credit limit can be adjusted in the course of your customer relationship.

Can I allow another person to drive on my account?

Sure - just get a cambio PartnerCard ...

By direct debit and after receipt of your invoice ...

We will send you a detailed invoice, showing each single trip and indicating the driver, the car, the rental period and the mileage driven. Depending on how often you use a car, invoices may be sent less frequently.

Corporate customers please note: naturally the VAT will be displayed separately on your invoice. Hence, you can claim back the VAT for your entire car costs.

About eight days after receipt of your invoice, the sum will be debited from your bank account. This allows you plenty of time to contact your local cambio office with any queries you may have.

Is CarSharing different from car rental?

Yes, there are crucial differences ...

Yes, there are crucial differences. Here are the most important ones:

Car rental: you have to fill out contract forms before each trip. The car has to be collected and returned within the office's opening hours.CarSharing: after initial registration you have easy access to all vehicles using your personal chip card. You can access the vehicle at any time of the day or night, regardless of the opening times. You can even reserve your vehicle minutes before you are due to commence your journey.

Car rental: the minimum rental period is 24 hours and there are only a few rental locations in each city. CarSharing: you can book your car for a minimum of one hour. Numerous car locations with reserved parking bays are availlable all over your city.

You can book your car 24 hours a day using your personal computer, your smartphone or your telephone.

When booking via internet you may log in using your username and password. The "real booking" will then be as easy as our "Trial Booking" tool displayed on the right of the screen. With this tool you can check if your favourite car would be available at your preferred time. The answer will be drawn from the real database.

You can also book a car by calling us on the phone. In this case please state
1. the city where you are registered,
2. your customer number
3. your name
4. day and time of departure and return
5. your favourite location and vehicle class
If the requested car is available, you will immediately receive the confirmation. If not, we will suggest several alternatives.

With the cambio-App you can easily book a car whilst en route. You can also check, modify or cancel your reservation. Find out the closest cambio location, the nearest available car or check the expected costs for your trip. The free cambio-App for iPhone, iPad or iPod is now available on the AppleStore.

By the way: In order to avoid unnecessary stress, we recommend booking the car for one or two hours more than you may need. You can always cancel the remaining time if you return earlier. The cancelled time will only be charged at 35 per cent of the normal time fares.

"Automatic Cancellation" (AutoStorno): Register for this additional service which is available for all locations with an electronic key locker. The remaining time will automatically be cancelled after inserting the car key into the key locker. This service is only available in the city in which you are registered as a customer.

Can I get a car every time I want one?

93% of all requests will be satisfied ...

We almost always have a vehicle available for you. 93 per cent of reservation queries are provided to the customer's satisfaction. This is an excellent statistic considering that two thirds of all bookings are made less than one hour beforehand. However: just reserving slightly earlier will ensure you'll get your favourite car at your favourite location. If you want to, you can even book your car up to 180 days in advance.

At peak times (such as school breaks, bank holidays and Christmas), we get additional reservation enquiries and might run short especially of estate cars. Please get in touch with your local cambio office in such cases. Our staff will be there to support you.

To be absolutely sure...
companies can use our "Block Reservation" service. This means, a defined time frame can be reserved exclusively for your company. Your staff members can then book and drive a car whenever they need one within this given time frame - just as if it was a company owned car. Please contact your local cambio office for detailed information.

Can I start my trip straight away?

Yes, you can...

Book your favourite car online or call our reservation service. Our system only needs about three minutes to transfer the reservation data.

If the location you are leaving from is equipped with an electronic key locker, you can also call the reservation service directly from the locker: hold your chip card against the reader (marked with a "C") and tap the "B" key on the key pad. You will be directly connected to our reservation service. Three minutes later you can type in you PIN and take away your car key.

How far in advance can I book?

Bookable up to 6 months in advance ...

Everyone breaths a sigh of relief when their holiday has been booked and the details are finalised. With cambio, you can reserve your car up to 180 days in advance.

The earlier you book, the more likely it is that you will get your favourite car at your favourite location for your favourite time of year.

However, we know from experience that we might run short of cars if, for instance, you would like to book the perfect estate car for two weeks just a couple of days before the beginning of the summer holidays.

It might be just as difficult to get a van at short notice for relocation on a weekend just before or after the end of a month.

In any case, you can be sure that we'll be there to support you!

Do reservations always have a specific end-time?

Basically yes - but you can opt for 'Open End' as well ...

Yes, basically you need to fix a return time with CarSharing.

But: for those who cannot or do not want to commit themselves, cambio has developed a new service called "Open-End".

For a slight extra charge of 50 cent per hour you can book a car without fixing a return time. In this case, cambio will count the return time as being the moment when you inserted the car key back into the electronic key locker.

The maximum rental time with cambio is 30 days. Minimum billing period is one hour to the full hour rate, even if you cancel at short notice (less than 24 hours beforehand).
The "Open End" service is available for certain vehicle classes at selected locations in Aachen, Berlin, Bielefeld, Bremen, Hamburg and Cologne.

If you would like to use this service, please contact your local cambio office to register.

Can I extend or shorten a reservation?

Of course - however, please note that ...

Of course, you are free to extend or to shorten your reservation. This can be done via internet, cambioApp or by calling our reservation service.

Extending a reservation

Please make sure you always call our reservation service BEFORE your reservation ends. Then there are two options:a. If there is no reservation for car just after yours, you can extend your booking without any extra charges.b. If another customer has already booked the car, you can also extend your reservation but we will charge you with a supplement of 15 euros.

Shortening a reservation

Again, there are two options:a. more than 24 hours before the start of the reservation: you can either shorten your reservation or cancel it entirely at no extra charge. b. less than 24 hours before: you can save 65 per cent of the time costs since any remaining time will be only be charged at 35 per cent of the time costs.

How long can a reservation be?

At least one hour, with a maximum of 30 days ...

The minimum booking period is one hour. The reservation can start or end on the full quarter of an hour (e.g. 6.00, 7.15, 8.30, 9.45).
From this first hour on, you can determine the time in quarter-hourly intervals.
The maximum rental time with cambio is 30 days.

What if I need to cancel the reservation?

Cancellation is free of charge up to 24 h. beforehand ...

You can easily cancel your reservation via internet or by phone.

This will be free of charge, if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start of your reservation.

But even if you cancel at short notice (less than 24 hours beforehand) you'll still save 65% of the time costs. Only 35% will be charged.

Why do I need to accept "cookies" for login?

Where can I find the car keys? Do I have to take fuel every time I drive? Can I use cars in an other city?...

You can pick up your reserved car from its parking space at any time of day (or night) regardless of the opening hours of your local cambio office.

Do I have to pick up my car on the dot?

You can - but you don't have to ...

No. Within your booking period the car remains reserved exclusively for you.

By the way: If you realise that you won't need the reserved car as early as you thought, or perhaps not at all, you can easily shorten your booking period or even cancel the entire reservation. Give us a call and you'll save 65% of the time costs. Please note however that it is not possible to shorten or cancel a booking period retroactively.

How do I get my car key?

By using your cambio-Card ...

Together with your PIN, the cambioCard gives you access to all our vehicles. You will find the car key either in an electronic key locker at the car's location or, for cars with an on-board computer, in the glove box.

Key locker locations

- Hold your cambioCard a few centimetres from the locker's reader (marked with a "C").
- Type in your PIN.
- Open the locker door behind which you will find several car keys, each in a separate slot.
- The text display indicates which car key is yours. A small LED light is also visible next to the key for your vehicle.

Vehicles with an on-board computer

- A small red light will glow in the reader field of the windscreen (marked with a "C").
- Hold your cambioCard in front of the reader for a few seconds until the small yellow light starts to glow.
- Finally, the green light appears and the computer unlocks the car's central locking system.
- Type in your PIN on the key pad of the on-board computer usually inside the glove box.
- Then you can remove the car key from its slot and start the car.

Can I start straight away?

Yes - but please check the car for damage first ...

You can start your trip (almost) immediately. But first you are obliged to check whether the car has any visible damages. At night you can use the torch provided in the glove box of each car.

Should you spot something, please refer to the logbook first. This is usually located in the glove box. On the first page there is a list with all registered damages and on the inside cover of the logbook you will find sketches depicting these.

- If the damage is already registered, you can start straight away.

- If the damage is not registered in the logbook, please call our reservation service and describe the damage. Our reservation service staff will decide upon whether you can still use this car despite the damage or if your booking needs to be changed.

Please do not write anything in the logbook as this is the responsibility of the cambio fleet staff. They service the vehicles on a regular basis - the customers simply check in the meantime.

Which cars can I book? Which features are available?

All cars are new vehicles, not older than 3-4 years ...

A compact car, a family car, an estate car or a van? cambio has the right car for you. All cars are new vehicles which are renewed every three or four years as a rule.

You can choose between cars with manual or automatic gear boxes and most of them are equipped with air conditioning.

All cambio-Cars are fitted with winter tyres or all-season typres. For journeys in the snow or in the mountains, please ask your local service office for snow chains.

In wintertime, most cars will be fitted with winter tyres or all-season tyres. If you are planning a winter holiday trip you can book the winter tyres as a specific option whilst reserving the car - without any additional charge.

Specific options can be booked online, app or by phone.

Do I need to refuel the car each time I use it?

No, but the tank should be 1/4 full when you return it ...

No, you don't have to refill the tank each time you use a car.

Just make sure the vehicle contains at least one quarter of a tank when you return it. This means that every customer knows they can drive at least 100 km without having to refuel.

You also don't have to fill in a driver report each time. However, if you do fill the tank, please enter the current mileage and also the mileage at the start and end of your trip.
Please also indicate whether you refuelled using the cambio fuel card or if you paid for the fuel yourself. If you have refulled by yourself please submit the orginal bill to your cambio office, the amount will be credited with the next bill.

Please don't fill in fuels like "V-Power" from Shell or "Ultimate" from Aral. This fuels are expensive and their use is controversial.

What about insurance?

Fully comprehensive insurance and breakdown cover ...

All vehicles are equipped with a breakdown cover voucher (or assistance from the manufacturer). In case of an accident, the damage is covered by a fully comprehensive insurance subject to your agreed excess. Normally, your damage excess is limited to 1,000 euros per claim.

You can also purchase our "SafetyPack" (German: SiPack) to reduce the excess to only 200 euros (400€ for Opel Vivaro or Citroën Jumper/Jumpy). This costs 50 euros per person.

Do I have to clean the car?

Please take away your rubbish at the end of the trip ...

Our fleet staff clean and vacuum the cars during the regular vehicle checks. So normally you won't have to take care of the cleaning.

However, if your children just ate some cookies and left crumbs on the back seat or if you used a vehicle car to carry soiled goods, we expect you to clean the vehicle for the next user. Please respect cambio's golden CarSharing rule: everyone is responsible for removing their own "visible residue" (also see our section: Can I take my pet in the car?).

On the other hand, if the car you've booked is already messy before your trip, please don't hesitate to call our reservation service. We will take care of it as soon as possible. If the car is in an unacceptable state and you would prefer not to use it, just call us and book another car. In some cases, you will receive compensation for the inconvenience.

If the car is dirty on the outside, cambio will also cover the costs of you using a car wash.

How much do I have to pay in case of an accident?

Nothing if wasn't your fault! Otherwise between €200 and €1,000 depending on a few factors ...

Without any additional conditions, your excess in the case of an accident will be limited to a maximum of 1,000 euros.
However, you can reduce your excess to 200 euros with our "SafetyPack" (German: SiPack) (400€ for Opel Vivaro or Citroën Jumper/Jumpy). This costs 50 euros per person.

What if the car isn't clean before I start?

Book another car or use a car wash at our expense ...

Inside cleaning: if you discover that the car is dirty or messy, please call our reservation service immediately, i.e. before commencing your journey. If you wish, we will book another car for you straight away. This way you can help us to keep the cars clean and remind the irresponsible user to be more thoughtful next time.

Outside cleaning: sometimes it's just a matter of a few hours before dust or rain makes the car dirty again. We give you a choice if you feel the car is not clean enough: you can either use a car wash (at our expense of course) or book another car.

Can I let someone else drive?

Yes, as long as you remain in the car and ...

As long as you remain in the car, you can allow someone else to drive - provided that:

1. this person has had a full driving licence valid in Germany. The person must also have the licence with them on the journey
2. you have personally made sure that the person is in a fit state to drive

Otherwise you are not entitled to permit anyone else to drive a cambio vehicle. The only exception is when the person is registered as an authorised driver with cambio and has a Partner-Card. In such a case, the person can call our reservation service to "take over" the trip

Is smoking allowed in cambio-cars?

No! All cambio-cars are "No Smoking Areas" ...

Not only all non-smokers but also the majority of smokers prefer to have a smoke-free car.

That is why smoking is strictly prohibited.

Report your complaint. Please call our reservation service if you feel that someone has not taken this point seriously and has in fact smoked in the car.

Do I have to pay for fuel myself

No, we take care of that ...

The fuel costs are already included in our travel fees. In each car you will find a fuel card which you can use at numerous appointed filling stations all over Europe.

However, if you need to refuel at a different filling station you will need to pay for it yourself. Then forward the receipt to us, indicating your name, your customer number and the name of the car. The amount will be deducted from your next invoice. Please get in touch with your local office for more information.

Please note that our travel fees are subject to change. This means that the price per kilometre on your invoice might differ by a maximum of three cents more or less, depending on current fuel price fluctuations.

Can I take my pet in the car?

Remember that some users are allergic to pet hairs ...

Please avoid carrying pets in the car because a growing number of our users are allergic to per hairs.

If, for some reason, you absolutely need to take your furry friend with you, make sure you are using appropriate transport baskets and that these are stored in the boot of the car. Front or back-seats are no-go areas for all pets! Remember to clean and vacuum the boot thoroughly at the end of your trip.

Please note: An extra cleaning charge of 30 euros per working hour will apply if we need to clean the car!

For trips to Poland and Spain (the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands are not covered by our insurance at all) you are duty bound to carry written authorisation of the vehicle's owner.
Please get in touch with your local cambio office in good time if you need to apply for permission for Poland or Spain.

What happens if I'm late?

Call our call centre BEFORE your reservation expires...

Please remember to always call our reservation service BEFORE your booking period expires. Then you will have two options:

a. If there is no reservation for car just after yours, you can extend your reservation without any extra charges. Your fee will be charged on the basis of the regular time fares.
b. If another customer has already booked the car, you can also extend your reservation but, in addition to the regular time fares, we will charge you a supplement of 15 euros for each affected booking.

What if the parking bay is occupied when I return?

Look for a common parking space and call us ...

You forgot to secure the parking bay when you left and now someone else parked his car there?
Please look for a common parking space nearby. Buy a pay and display ticket if necessary and call our reservation service.
Our staff will get in touch with the next user of your car to let him know where he can find the car.

All related costs are charged to the person who caused the inconvenience.

Can I return the car to a different location?

No, you always need to return the car to the same location where you picked it up.

With CarSharing you always need to return the car to the same location where you picked it up. You cannot return it to a different location - neither in another cambio city nor in another town. A cambio car must always be returned to the location it was collected from.

Yes, in all cambio-cities and also elsewhere ...

Yes, there are several ways to use CarSharing cars in other cities:
